Henry C. Davis, the democratic can-didate for vice president, though 83 years of ago, is making vigorous cam-pal ,11 lour through Maryland and Virginia. He is of the good old demo-cratic stock which is conducive- to long-evity. Tho fusion ticket in Box Butte eiuntvia mooting with every encour-a0cmpnt that predicts a good round nnjorilv at the polls November fi. Every cundid ate ia wot thy the coiifi-denre and support of the voters of the cotinh.

In tlit western trip recently made by I airbanks, Dollivor, ot al, there was a noticablc lack of speeches when the state of Colorado was reached. No doubt tlio recent outrages perpetrated by Gov. 1'eabody on tho ininurs of the state -and conscious of this fact, the vice presidential aggregation preferred not to add insult to injury to the votors of Colorado. A big meeting is planned for Lincoln October 2.1, when Joseph V. Folk, democratic candidate for governor of MLsouii, will participate.

Governor La Folletto, icpublican candidate for governor of Wisconsin, has sent word that he cannot come owing to the ardinus campaign in but ho stated that ho would liko to discuss railroad mattora a little for tho bailout of Nebraska lopublicans of the in-dependent brand. What a change can be effoctod with, a fcv months in the commercial world. Only a few months ago the railway corporations were laying off em-ploeesbv tho score, but today they are handicapped because of the scarci. tv of help with which to operate the systems. If the purse proud stockholders would sacrifice a tenth part of their unjust profits by keeping those men at work during the dull season, there would not bo a cry today for htlp to increase their coffers.

At Council Bluffs, Senator Fairbanks on Ins stumping tour, stated that tho reason ho was for the republican party was because the republican party was for him, and that his party was founded the on "principle of otcrnal righteous- It is easv to nnfWstntvl bank's first proposition, but as to his party's claim to infallibity we must have further evidence from the apostles of Hamilton before we feel justified in accepting the covenant. Perhaps it is within tho power of Governor Mickey it Senator Deitrich to cast more light the republican party's claim to livme inheritance. I HARRINGTON'S SPEECH Tho Gifted O'Neill Orator Entcrtnin, on Interested Audience The Tax Dodger and Pass fraud Scored. A good sized audience greeted the Hon. M.

F. Hnrrington at tho opcrn house Tuesday evening and those pro-gent wore well paid for attending. Mr. Hnrrington is tut interesting Inlker mid is pouciMcd of a store of general knowledge regarding governmental affairs both national And stnte, and the grand feature of his ap'aech rested in the fact that it was entirely devoid of partisan prejudice or political doggctel or mistntcmonts. In iact, it irmy bo said that it would bo hard to dotormino by many Uio was lauded most the republican or democatic candidate for president.

But when Mr. Harrington touched on state legislation lie wont after the violator of the law and tax dodgers without gloves. The speaker pointed out plainly how the railway corporations of Nebtaska wexe dodging their obligations in this respect in a manner to bring shame to tho honor of tho commonwealth. Mr. Harrington doalatud that under the present minimis; rat ion tho Union Pacific railway alone was miking a profit of 46 per cent, or nufttly if not 2 per cent per month on th capital invested, while corporations' tH.os were lower than that of other tax pavers of the stntn.

Thin. Im said, uns only an illustration of tho wholesale corruption going on, and which the democratic and pooplo's parties ate actively ongagod in this campaign trying to stamp out. Mr. Harrington's statement, taken fiom the topoit of the investment of the Union Pacific together with its net earnings, shows a profit of 40 per cent. After paying the full running expense of the toad including the president's salary, which amounts to 54 per cent, the above enormous surplus goes out of the state to a few stockholders in the oast to enhance lhair coffers at the espouse of the people of Nebraska who today are paying the highest freight rates of any state in the Union.

Tho speaker also dwelt upon tho base evil of tho pass system that is corrupt ing the state of Nebraska, and ho ox- plained its workings so explicitly that there was no room for contradiction. In the state there are hundreds of politicians, from the big fish to the small fry, tiding on passes and trip tickets secured through the earner companies in return for political favors. In this corrupt practice is also included the express, telegraph and oil companies. The mulct handed method of dealing out favors to delegates and candidates is so adroit that many a man is ignorant of the fact that riien he accepts a faor from these corporations, through tho medium of a friend, he is playing directly 111 tho hands of the lobbyists. Likewise members of the legislatute and state senate are entangled in tho web of the corporate spider.

Hon. George W. Borge, the democratic and people's parties' candidate for governor was nominated for the avowed purpose of overcoming this curse in the stiite and he has declared, in the event of his election, to accomplish this end. Mr. Hauingtou compared Mr.

Bertro with the fearloss candidates for gubernatorial honors in Missouri and Wisconsin, Messrs. Folk and La Fol letto, the former a democrat and the latter a republican, and so far forgot his paity affiliations as to declare were ho a resident of either state he would cast his vote for one of the candidates. The records of both Folk and La Folletto were made on their fights against tax dodgers and thievos generally in their respective states and it is for the saino reason that George Beige is a candidate for governor in Nebras-ka. Mr. Harrington also made it clear that a vote for Governor Mickey meant a vote in support of the tax dodging corporations, for ho was placed in nomination mainly by their efforts, as-sisted by the clement that ride on annual and trip passes.

The mombors of the legislature and senate are also instrumental in bringing about the desired reform and for that reason Mr. Harrington urged the votors of his audience to cast their ballots for Mr. Robert Graham, the people's candidate.as against Frank Curry, the republican aspiraut, who in a former session of the legislature was counted atnoug those voting against the bill to increase tho taxation of the railway and express companies of the state. At the conclusion of Mr. Harring-ton's address he was accorded arousing applause and his speech has been the source 01 mucli tntorost amonc th voters uox Uutte county ever since.
